Amid American Protests of War, a Thank You from Syria
Bogus Times ^ | 4-8-17 | Kim Parkhurst

Posted on 04/09/2017 2:19:14 AM PDT by BogusTimes

Hundreds of protesters gathered in cities throughout the country, slamming President Trump for the airstrike on a Syrian airbase in Shayrat in the early morning hours of Friday. It was flagged as an emergency protest by the group, “Act Now to Stop War and End Racism” (ANSWER) Coalition, which called the US assertion that the Syrian government carried out attacks on its own people “unsubstantiated” and demanded an independent investigation.

I have been a Trump supporter since day one of the debates. I also spent many a late night after work working at a local GOP headquarters placing calls on behalf of his campaign.

I am amazed but not surprised over the protests concerning Syria. There's a video included in this story of a Syrian man thanking Trump for what he did. It is truly heartbreaking to see what that airstrike meant to this man and the people of his country. It filled him with hope for perhaps a better future.

ISIS will not lay down their arms. We still don’t know who the enemy is....but both Russia and Syria does. Like it or not, I really think we have to work it out.....somehow because we don’t know WHO is the alternative. Look at Egypt, Libya...for how well we do at replacement...

The anti-war peacenics will be out in force now—a new nail in Trump’s casket—SO THEY THINK. The game isn’t over—we are just at the second move—Now its Putin’s turn. Its called the Great Game and it has been played before the ink was dry on the Bible. Lets see how good Trump is—and my bet is he will be good—very good.

I'm delighted for him. Where do we send the bill?

Apparently the past few years the “emergency” was absent, eh?

“It could cost about $60 million to replace the cruise missiles that the U.S. military rained on Syrian targets Thursday night.”

So basically each one costs less than what it costs to keep all of the illegals we are basically paying to live here?

So what?
These need to be in the interest of the US, not the Syrians.
I am Trump supporter, too, but exactly WHAT have we achieved in our internventions in the Middle East that justifies us continuing to intervene there?

But do you know what would be INCREDIBLE? If Trump could be the President who brings peace to the Middle East.

These are Trump supporters gone rogue on us. lol. The war in Syria doesn’t exist unless Trump has done something to tassle some feathers.

Actually, Syria started bombing its people yesterday again. Not chemical. Just regular blow-them-up kind of stuff. Ya know, the stuff our media seldom covers because it’s rampant in the ME.

I think the bottom line with this air strike is it took away from the Trump-Putin connection CNN was harping on and it made him come across and decisive and presidential to the world. In policitical circles, that’s HUGE.
